Pov: Faith
LATE 2017
I shook my head in disgust as I sat down.
I'm visiting my boyfriend Von in jail for the first time.
He looked at me with some type of sorrow.
But I wasn't trynna hear nothing.
"Faith I'm so sorry ma" Von said as I kept shaking my head at him.
He tried to touch me but I moved his hand quickly.
"Von you promised me?! U said u would do better!" I yelled as tears flowed down my face.
I promised I was never gonna let this shit get to me again.
But how would y'all feel like you been with a Nigga since y'all was teens and you try to encourage him but he keep getting in B.S?
"Faith I know ma. I know. I'm trying okay? I love you. Please don't leave me in here ma" he said .
I stared at the man I loved since I was 18 years old.
What could I possibly caused him to spiral this bad?
For those who need a little insight, I'm 22 . My boyfriend Von is 23.
He has been in and out the prison system since he was 16 years old.
Von & I always have been tight but once my senior year came, we started dating,
Things happened & I fell hard for this dude. I loved him in my apartment , tried to help him get a job and everything.
U know basically help him get his life together but then a year later, he was arrested for something.
I don't know what exactly he did but it caused him the longest jail time he has ever received.
Like this man so damn smart and could of been a doctor or lawyer. That's what pisses me off and hurt me the most.
Anyway, back to the story. Cause I'm finna let this mf have it.
"I'm not gone leave but u know what Von? You need to get yo shit together! U are fucking 23 years old. U can't keep going in and out the prison. Don't u wanna make something out of life?! Don't u wanna be a dad someday?!" I yelled popping his right in his forehead.
"Say ma. Hit me again and ima beat yo ass. U know better" he spat.
Oh I know better? I grabbed my purse and was finna walk out but Von began singing.
"Do you believe me if I say I'm in love? Baby I want chu to want meee" Von sang as we both laughed.
He knew that was our favorite song to play when we was being grown .
He pulled me close to him and I kissed my baby. It's been so long since I touched them big ass lips.
"I love u so much Faith. When I get out , I got chu ma. On folks nem, I got chu ma" he whispered.
"I love u too. We gone see" I said as we hugged tightly.
The visit was over. I didn't wanna leave my stink but I had to go.
I stood up and he stood over me . "Lemme get some sugar before u leave baby" he whined.
"Von im on my period . I told u that. I love u I gotta go D" I said kissing his little face.
